Petronix Electronic Ignition Any Good?

Has any one used a relay to get a good 12 volts to the coil? If so where did you pick up the trigger power from? I tested the power to my coil it is just around 11.5 volts, still having a issue with a no start to car. Again this is a none Mopar electronic system, no resister block , Pertronox coil is 45111, 45,000 volt Flame thrower II unit, and matching dist. system. have power from ignition switch while cranking and in run mode of switch. But with spark plug tester in line shows only a weal yellow/orange spark, should be blue/white.

Usually during cranking batteries go from 12.5 to 11 volts or so. So your not going to nor should you expect a full 12 volts at coil during cranking. Have you hooked a volt meter to plus side of coil and negative side of battery while cranking? Also what are volts at battery during cranking? I would start there.

Also, usually when ppl use relay to get battery volts to Ignition 1 circuit that is done for engine running coil voltage, not coil voltage during start. Start and Run circuits two completely different things.
